For proper functioning of the muscles

Chela-Mag B6® Skurcz contains a highly absorbable type of magnesium – in the form of amino acid chelate ALBION® (magnesium bisglycinate), highly absorbable form of potassium (potassium citrate) and vitamin B6 that have beneficial effect on muscle contractility as well as nervous and cardiovascular system function.

How do potassium and magnesium affect functioning of muscles and nervous system?

Potassium participates in transmission of information between neurons, improving functioning of the nervous system, and along with magnesium is involved in neuromuscular excitability. On the other hand, vitamin B6 is essential for magnesium metabolism and promotes its abortion. Correct levels of potassium and magnesium ions determine the efficient process of contraction and relaxation of the muscles, thus enabling the muscular system to work properly. These minerals are also crucial for protein synthesis; they take part in carbohydrate metabolism and energy conversion providing energy to tissues and cells, which is particularly important for intensively working organs and systems such as brain and muscles.

Why magnesium and potassium are so important for our cardiovascular system?

According to research, adequate intake of magnesium and potassium may decrease arterial blood pressure. The mechanism of hypotensive (lowering blood pressure) potassium activity results from, among others, increased sodium excretion by kidneys. On the other hand, magnesium causes dilation of blood vessels through its influence on the muscle membrane, and therefor helps to lower blood pressure. Moreover, potassium and magnesium are elements that have beneficial effect on heart function. In fact, they are of significant importance for proper signal transmission between heart muscle cells, which affects regular heart rhythm.

Why should you ensure an adequate magnesium and potassium supply?

Insufficient supply of minerals may result in electrolyte disturbances. They usually concern several ions. Due to the intracellular location of potassium and magnesium ions, a lower level of one of them is usually associated with a reduced level of another. Too low intake of both these elements can lead to weakening of muscle strength and reduced muscle tension, muscle cramps, nervous system disorders, abnormal heart muscle function (heart rhythm disorders) as well as acid-base and water-electrolyte imbalance.

Use: the product is intended for use as a dietary supplement helping to cover requirements of magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6 which have beneficial effect on muscle contractility, preventing excessive muscle contraction, as well as heart muscle function, and functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
